England: abortions and live births by health region, 1991-2011

England: abortions and live births by health region, 1991-2011

compiled by Wm. Robert Johnston
last updated 24 November 2012

Note: Health region-level abortion statistics for England have been reported for years 1991-2011, but the regions for which data is reported have changed repeatedly during this time period. Tables below give abortion statistics for uniformly defined regions for 2002-2011 and office-level regions for 1991-2011. Construction of a dataset for uniform regions for additional years is incomplete. Regional-level birth statistics are reported by differing sets of health regions; figures below have been partly reconstructed to matching geographies.
